About the Medic Helmet, Don't medic's die from a fully charged body shot anyway? (Making a helmet making you immune to head shots a bit pointless). I do like the sound of these new updates, seeing as i don't play for anything serious it'll be a good laugh.

[Teatime]

Yes, I think this is a step towards customizing/individualizing the models. I doubt this will have any effect on the game mechanics.

And actually I'm getting so tired of the attitude of people. On one hand their are eager, almost desperate for new stuff to keep the game from getting boring, but as soon as the new stuff only slightly changes the comfortable old game they start bitching and threatening to leave the game.
Perfect fanboy behaviour: "Give us more of the same" (which usually translates to: new maps ... as if there weren't tons of maps out there which are bound to have a number of good ones amongst them, if only people - admins and players alike - would give them a chance)

[Finaldeath]

Nah, Teatime, fanboys don't want something to change at all, and would have preferred they hadn't changed anything since the original game, heh.

[Torgue]

Slightly related.

[Hzza]

Slightly related.

Holy shit, I remember seeing this last year sometime and totally forgot about it! Have some rep, thats an epic find!

[egg]

Valve have obviously leaked this to guage player interest in the idea.....

So if your reading this.....
Change character appearance sounds cool
Even more weapons sounds crud

The appeal of it originally was the simplicity, and balance.  I know a few players who stopped playing because of the updates and loadouts (sleeze, plague), The game will always be popular, but the original players will be pushed out by breaking the original game ideal, and new players will replace them.... hopefully for the "people who still play it"s sake

[Chaos]

dont tell them new players will replace us!
thats basically saying "do it, youll increase your sales!"

[Hzza]

This should hopefully calm the community down a bit, made me feel a bit more at ease.

edit - Crap, linked to the wrong thing! The interviews in that article anyway, just click that!

[Teatime]

Full interview with Robin Walker
Good find, Hzza.

[Hzza]

Cheers Tea, that was the one I was trying to link to! Copy+Paste fail!

Cosmetic hats I can deal with fine, and I liked how there was a clear emphasis on community feedback in regard to consumables and the new content affecting gameplay.

[AmS]

Shack: Will players be able to trade these items?

Robin Walker: This is a good example of the kind of decision we'll be listening to the players around. If it's something they all want to do, then yep, you can expect us to do it.

lol, WTS barely used Flare Gun 

[CruelCow]

So thanks to the 270 people who went ahead and deleted items! In addition, it gave our support team some warmup practice in handling the inevitable customer issues resulting from this kind of system.

Robin Walker: It'll be in TF2 proper. The primary change here is simply the decoupling of achievements and unlockables, which is the source of most of the negative feedback we've received around previous class packs. The head-slot items are all cosmetic at this point, so they haven't resulted in any significant balance issues in any of our existing game modes.

This is starting to sound goood!

[Magathery]

So I can finaly sell huge luminus flashing hats to spys then? AWSOME!

[Hzza]

I lol'd

• Fixed Spy disguise menu not being visible in HUD minimal mode

• Added "player_extinguish" event for servers to log when a Pyro extinguishes flame with the airburst
